Palestinian unity rally ends in gunfire
AP ^ | 9/14/5

A Palestinian rally to celebrate Israel's pullout from Gaza ended in chaos Wednesday when a Hamas activist grabbed a microphone away from a rap singer, and police firing in the air escorted the singer away.

No one was hurt, but the small crowd of about 2,500 people dispersed quickly after the incident. The rally was billed as a show of Palestinian unity, but most of the factions stayed away, and Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas canceled his appearance.

Isn't "rap singer" an oxymoron?

anyone remember Monty Python's Life of Brian?

They satirized the various factions in the Palestinian unity front.

The headline pretty much sums up the Palestinian "culture".
